It isn't something everyone has to do...it helps me. I keep one with at all times. It kinda lets me see how bad or good I have been. I write how I feel after I eat because sometimes it helps go back find a day that I was really full and I re create it. So no biggie....it just helps us who want to do it. So come and read and then laugh at us for be so crazy....now you have to admit you find something good that you weren't eating and get it.

Hang in there Karen...you are being SO good....maybe I can post that soon. Ok this food journal thread is going to make me stop and think if you all can see what I am eating that is going to make be good...well for the most part.

Ok off any topic as if there was one here...it's thundering here at the house. Does that mean we are getting snow showers soon? I thought the old wives tale was like 10 days later....NO SNOW!!!!!!!

I have a cannon powershot S-70, which I love upgraded from the S-50 a year ago. I too am looking for something a little faster as I have a 2 year old and plan to have another and I have gotten frustrated. We are looking at the digital Cannon Rebel ourselves and actually have been told that the lens are inter-changable. Went to a camera shop here that told us that becuase I have some old lens myself. So you might be on the right path... If you get a Rebel please let me know how you like it.

Girl you look great....if you want to send the pictures to me via email I can get them side by side for you.

OMG...is it really our long lost friend STARR???? I can't believe it. I think Iam going into shock here. Someone help me please. Starr we are soooo glad to have you back. Please don't leave us again. Girl mark that calendar now for the 28th...we want to see you there. How are things going? Hey do you work uptown...want to meet Karen and I for lunch on Monday? We would love to have you. Denika - we are meeting on the 28th @ 11:30 at TGIFridays on WWT Harris Blvd. So you weren't confused. I may have confussed you a little posting Karen and I were going to have lunch next week asking if anyone wanted to join us. Sorry.... Dianne I love this too..it's great checking in daily or so to see what everyone is doing. Going to the Dr today....I have already lost a pound this week just getting back to the way I am suppose to eat..measuring my food and a little excercise. Curtis....is doing good. Thought I would update everyone...we go to the ENT on Tuesday and I think he already has another ear infection. I am trying to wait til his ENT appt though. Hope everyone has a HAPPY THURSDAY...I am going to recover now from my heart failure of Starr coming back. I have missed you. Ok...now we need to get the others to check in...Magic? Jennifer? Jamie? Sherrie? Hello ladies....

Hey Janet...I am from NC but your name SCbeachbander made me want to look where you were from. We have a house in N Mrytle Beach that we don't use alot in the winter but spring, summer and fall is used alot. Maybe one day when I am down that way we can meet up for lunch or shopping or something... Welcome and come over and jump in on the NC thread at anytime. Good Luck.

Melissa - I will have to check it out. If I haven't gotten a dance thing by the time we meet I may take you up on your offer of borrowing yours. Ok Karen and I are going to lunch monday... 1/9 anyone want to join us? Don't know where but it will be uptown. @ 12:45 unless someone needs it a little earlier. Just thought I would through this out there for anyone.

Alright lady di...I am up for a local food thread. Lets start it. I do journal my food again it helped me when I first started then things got crazy in life and I stopped. So I started back on monday so I am a go for this. Karen...hang in there girl. It will all be ok!!!! Have faith..which I know you do. If it wasn't so expensive to change my Y membership to be able to use out of Concord I would but it's alot more money. Maybe I can get a buddy pass and go with one day. Well that is if you are talking about going to the one here uptown. Kathy I think that other ladies name was Jamie (now I could way off on this one). She had her surgery in Ashville. I had a few emails from her I need to find her again. Also babysteps on the cleaning out - I am attacking the kitchen table tonight. 15 mins a day right on a hot spot. My kitchen is first. That is where we should meet everynight as a family. Angie - hang in there girl. You will feel so much better once that thing is out of there. Keep us posted as to when it is. Mine was out patient surgery back in 99...but if you have to stay over night I can pop in and visit you. Northest is very close to me. Melissa - agreed - glad you didn't tell you MIL. MIL can be that way. I didn't tell mine until a few days before I had the surgery. Since she is here I had to tell her because I see her alot. Question - do they sell those dance pad things for playstation2? I am really out of the loop when it comes to electronics other then the PC.

I have family in Granite Falls. Hutto is the last night. Not sure where abouts they live though. (my grandfathers nephew)

Denika...I knew you would like this place. It's great. Everyone here is wonderful. I just read the site about your son. What a story. You have been through so much. I also have a child born with a birth defect. It's called an imperforate anus part of VATER. I have actually just found a lady here locally that I can talk with and there hasn't been much support. Well my family and we have a great surgeon here. Aren't kids just amazing. Curtis just had a surgery on Dec 7th and I hoping it will be his last for a while. I know it's not over. Bless you for being such a strong and caring mother. Your beauty is not only on the outside but on the in. I too was on clomid for the PCOS it worked for us thank goodness, but I can only wonder if that is what caused or help contribute to Curtis defects. He has brough such joy to our lives that his little road bumps are just that bumps we have to overcome. I truly can't wait to meet you....
